Ty Keltner used his spare time while completing his M.B.A. last academic year to create a model of the Gruening Building out of LEGO® bricks. At a cost of more than $1,100, the project was more ambitious than many graduate student theses. Keltner also built a web comic strip, complete with construction workers, local media personality Darryl Lewis and Gov. Sarah Palin. The model will be on permanent display in Wood Center.

Dear Woodcenter,

Facilities Services is building a display case for the model; they hope to have it in place by the end of the year.

My co workers and I were reading this article and was wondering where is the display?? When will it be brought in?
